The Big 22.... March 10,2009

For my birthday this year we had a party at Alan’s Dads house. We had it on Sunday, Mach 8…We had dinner and strawberry shortcake. For dinner we had sandwiches, chips, and drinks. I didn’t really want a cake so I decided to make strawberry shortcake. I cut up the angle food cake into little square and put them in a truffle bowl, and then put strawberries in the middle with cool whip! It was so YUMMY!!! Then after we ate we let the little nieces and nephews play while we sat around and talked. Then I opened presents…. I got a cricut from Alan and his family! I was so excited, and still am! And I got a scentsy plug-in and a maple walnut scent. I love Scentsy :) THANKS!!!

Then this last weekend I took Friday off to go to Laughlin!! We left on Friday March 13th and came home on Sunday March15th. It was a lot of fun! Alan and Me and my mom and dad and brother and my sister in law and her husband and their kids, and my brother in law and his wife and their son all went! We stayed at the Royal Palms Hotel. My mom went so at night she could watch the kids! On friday we got there and just kinda hung out and walked around. On saturday we took the kids bowling, and walked around ate went to the mall..Played a little blackjack :).. It was a nice vacation!

Then on March 16th we celebrated it again but this time with my family. My mom and dad were down here and so we had a party for me and Thomas.. My mom got me bedding for my bed! YEAH!! We had hamburgers and hotdogs, chicken, shrimp, potato salad, and again Strawberry shortcake, but this time dad made it! We had a really good birthday! Thanks everyone for my presents!! (Thanks Kristy for the scrapbooking stuff you gave me when we were at mom’s house a few weeks ago) Its nice having Thomas back to share a party with, I sure missed him when he was on his mission, but now he is Back!!

Here we come Monticello

A few weekends ago we decided we would go see my mom and dad and brother up in Monticello. My sister and her husband were coming down from their house and so we decided that we would go there so we could see them. Alan and I and my sister and her husband and their two kids packed up our bags and headed to my parents house. We drove 6 hours to get there!! And my sister and her husband meet up with us at my parents. All of us were there except my little sister. It was a short trip but we had a lot of fun. We helped my parents with their house that they are building and then we went four wheeling. My brother-in-law brought his quad so we played around for a while.

Thomas took Kristy out for a ride.....

My dad and Thomas went out looking for some rabbits to shoot.... They didn't find any!

Thomas thought it would be funny to go through the mud, and we got me all MUDDY :)

My nephew and niece just watched us, pretty soon they will be big enough to join in on the fun :)

Valentine's Day

This year for Valentine's day we celebrated it one day earlier because we knew we would be busy on saturday. On friday morning I went to work and was working with a student and it was time to leave that student and go to the next one, so I was walking to go to my next student when our Nurse yelled my name. I looked over at her and she was carrying a box and she said it was for me. I was like "what, I never get anything at work!" So I went to my room and opened the box and it was flowers from Alan :) I could not believe that he had flowers sent to my work. He has never done that before and now he has... I had been teasing him about getting me flowers and he always tells me that I don't like flowers because I really don't because they are expensive and they die and I do not like that, but its always nice to get them :) haha... So that was my surprise from Alan.. So after work I went and got him his present. I got home and there was a note on the counter for me. I put down his present and looked at the note and it was a gift card to go get my toes done! I was totally excited. I gave him his gift (the movie fireproof) and then we left for dinner. We went out to Oliver Garden! YUMMY!!! After dinner we went to Walmart, then we got home and watched the Movie Fireproof. It was sooo good! It sure is a tear dropper movie... I would suggest everyone to watch it.

NBA Jam

On Wednesday Night Alan and I were able to go to the NBA Jam. His dad got tickets to go that night and wasn't able to go so we went :) It was actually really cool, but the lines were forever long to do anything. They had different stations where you were able to do basketball stuff like dunking, three pointers, around the world, trampolines, 3 on 3. It was fun to be there and able to play a few games. We saw one person who played in the NBA and that's all...

Then on Saturday Alan went again with his brother, brother in laws, nephews, uncles and cousins. They too said that there were a lot of people there and lines were long. Also they saw a few people who play in the NBA. It was fun for them to be able to go and have a little fun together.

Well.... The Cardinals had a great season and it was exciting to see them get as far as they did. For the Super Bowl we went over to Alan's brothers house and had Ribs! It was a lot of fun! While the adults watched the game the kids played and had a good old time. I never thought in my life time that the Cardinals would get to the super bowl! I am glad that they even got that far and even though they didn't win they still did an awesome job. They didn't look so good in the beginning but then they really picked it up. The Steelers are DIRTY players thats all I can say. I never thought they were dirty but tonight they really showed that they weren't the better team, lots of cheap shots! In all the Cardinals were penalized with 96 yards and the Steelers only had around 30 yards of penalies. I think next year there needs to be different officals thats for sure :)
In all the Cardinals did a great job, and we look forward to watching them again next year!!!

High School Musical On Ice

Yesterday we got to go to High School Musical on Ice. We went with Alan's family! The little kids love the movie so we thought it would be fun to go to it on ice. It was really cute and all the kids were singing and dancing. Some of the actors looked really close to the real people. It was a cute show :)

CHAMPIONS 2009
